The Medical Team

God blessed this team with a medical team.  Mrs. Nancy, a nurse practitioner  came down with three amazing helpers, Michelle, who is a nurse, Kyle who works in the operating room at his local hospital and Keeley who is studying to be a nurse.  What great hands on experience for  this medical  team to receive and  go help those who struggle getting medical care for whatever reason, whether it is financially or simply cannot get to a local clinic.  Las Cabasas is a sweet rural area about forty minutes from Choluteca.  So this medical clinic this week was a gift from God for sure.  Michelle found out one day talking with Meida how just to get to the market the ladies need to walk about thirty minutes up to the main road to catch a bus to Choluteca.  They have to be back on the bus by a certain time because there is only one bus who goes out there and it leaves by four.  So once they get their groceries they catch the bus back out to the dirt road that leaves to their homes in Las Cabasasa.  Please note they are now bringing their groceries for the week on their heads or shoulders down their thirty minute walk unless someone may come by and they catch a ride on the back of a pick up truck. So yes this medical clinic is a gift from God.  They served 137 patients in four days.  The first day was a half a day put the last three was from nine to three. One interesting story was they ran out of urine cups on the last day and Dr. Sarah, a Honduran shared use one of the gloves you are wearing when checking the patients.  Mrs. Nancy and Michelle said they were in absolute awe of how they know how to use what they have in front of them to make whatever they need to work.  Yes, it did work. Two ladies returned to the clinic and shared how the medicine they prescribed for them worked and they wanted to come and say thank you to the medical clinic. There was a lot of  allergies in this area.  So they could help them with their allergies and everyone was so grateful for the care these four along with Meida, Dr. Sarah and Joel provided for their community.  Sadly they wanted to treat the men and women in the melon fields but the melon company would not allow them time off to go to the medical clinic which was not a half mile from them.  Thank you our sweet medical team who made such a huge impact in serving others with your medical experience and gifts of compassion for others.
